Perma-riots

Or you could just redistribute the pop to a lot of other planets, and transplant your own citizens on the rioting world.....

But you can't remove the last 1M, and they will remain rioting and override the happiness of any transplanted population, right?

You could remove that last 1M from the original settlers, but I'm pretty sure happiness is *per planet*, and that's it: races only have an impact through their own specific modifiers (the last few lines in happiness.txt).

As I understand it, Emotionless simply means "no happiness checks throughout the Empire", so happiness stays the same everywhere, and cannot change for rioting planets. It might also be a very high "Go back to indifferent" routine, if Angry/Jubilant captured planets go down to the Indifferent level (rioting can never go away through natural decrease).

You abandon the planet, say "keep the facilties".

Then one turn later, drop the colonists back down from your transport.

I thought abandoning the planet abandoned the colony as well...
